abstract="<b>Purpose:</b> To examine rural-urban differences in motor vehicle fatality (MVF) risk factors. <b>Methods:</b> We used 2017 County Health Rankings data to run stratified regression models to estimate county-level correlates of motor vehicle fatalities (MVFs) by rural and urban location. <b>Results:</b> Rural counties have higher rates of MVFs than urban counties (22 vs. 14 per 100,000, <i>p</i><0.001). Physical inactivity and uninsurance were associated with higher rates of MVFs, as was having a more racially or ethnically concentrated population and larger percentages of younger or older adults. <b>Conclusion:</b> Interventions to reduce MVFs should take geographic location and population composition into account.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
